Child's Play

Detective Kim Stone Crime Thriller, Book 11

De: Angela Marsons

Narrado por: Jan Cramer

Finally we’re playing a game. A game that I have chosen. I give one last push of the roundabout and stand back. 'You really should have played with me’, I tell her again although I know she can no longer hear.

Late one summer evening, Detective Kim Stone arrives at Haden Hill Park to the scene of a horrific crime: a woman in her 60s tied to a swing with barbed wire and an X carved into the back of her neck.

The victim, Belinda Evans, was a retired college professor of child psychology. As Kim and her team search her home, they find an overnight bag packed and begin to unravel a complex relationship between Belinda and her sister Veronica.

Then two more bodies are found bearing the same distinctive markings, and Kim knows she is on the hunt for a ritualistic serial killer. Linking the victims, Kim discovers they were involved in annual tournaments for gifted children and were on their way to the next event.

With DS Penn immersed in the murder case of a young man, Kim and her team are already stretched and up against one of the most ruthless killers they’ve ever encountered. The clues lie in investigating every child who attended the tournaments, dating back decades.

Faced with hundreds of potential leads and a bereaved sister who is refusing to talk, can Kim get inside the mind of a killer and stop another murder before it’s too late?

The addictive new crime thriller from multi-million-copy, number-one best seller Angela Marsons explores the dark side of child prodigies and will have you absolutely hooked.

Twists and turns...

Another brilliant installment in the series filled with the suspense and drama we have come to expect from Kim Stone and her team. deeper dive into the hearts and minds keeps pulling the reader ever deeper. Page Turner to the bitter end.

I love Kim😭😭😭

I wish I could meet her in real life. I couldn’t stop listening. Impatiently waiting for what’s next ;)

Amazing as always!!!

Love it loved it loved it! There were many different story lines going on at the same time, in this book, and they were ALL thought provoking and kept me on the edge of my seat! As per usual, Angela Marsons did it again! And Jan Cramer IS Kim Stone!!!! I can't wait for #12! Especially after this one ended! :)

I love Kim and her team

Kim is courageous, even recognizing how flawed her past has made her. Bryant, Stacy, and Penn take good care of her, when she'll let them. They're an amazing team. I found this story an interesting take on child prodigies, but not my favorite in the series.

as always an excellent story with shocking ending

love the author love the narrator. thank you again for an entertaining story. Listen to it in two sittings!

Another great addition

Angela Marsons has written another great installment in the Detective Kim Stone series. Jan Cramer, as always was excellent. I look forward to the next in series, however the wait will be too long!

Never disappointed!

I love these books! Only negative is that I read them so fast that I have to wait too long for the next book!!

Slightly different approach - still great

More characters than usual to follow - but both crimes in this book were great to follow and both kept me wanting more!

Love the characters. Always a great story and never disappointed. Love to see the evolution of the relationships.

Another great book

Another great book in the DI Kim Stone series. I can't wait for the next one.
